I was flying this week and over heard a conversation on 123.45 between a USAir pilot and a UAL pilot.
Basically, the USAir pilot wanted to thank the UAL pilots for treating the Hudson FO (Skiles ?) like a VIP. Apparently, Skiles commutes on UAL through ORD, and on his way home, through ORD, a UAL ALPA volunteer met Skiles at the gate and .....this is where it got broken up.....but either had a heros welcome, or welcome banner, or something.....but whatever it was, the UAL ALPA took the time to thank him and acknowledge him for a great job and let him know he is not forgotten.
The USAir pilots thanked the UAL pilots, and away they went.
I just thought it was a class act by UAL pilots, as well the USAir pilots, and thought I would share this to all of you.
